Metformin is the most widely used orally ingested drug for type 2 diabetic and regarded as one of the most safe. Just in case you were wondering what sort of side effects one can expect from taking metformin here are the usual suspects.
Rapid weight gain, fever, flu symptoms, headaches and muscle pain, weakness, vomiting and nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, gas, shortness of breath.
On top of all this metformin (despite being on of the "safest" on the market) should not be taken if you have liver, heart or kidney disease. Fairly eye opening. These type of drugs are a quick term fix but in actual fact they cause the pancreas to produce even more insulin which as you can imagine. Will cause it to eventually exhaust. This is the point when no amount of correct diet or oral drugs will help, by then you will be put on insulin injections since your body won't be producing any.
